UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

This day is going too slow for my liking.

 

He won't start but I think if were winning 1-0 up until the last 20 minutes he'll stick him on to try and get a second knowing Lenny.

 

Doubt it but im hoping he does

Forster
Matthews Lustig Wilson Mulgrew
Wanyama
Brown Ledley
Forrest-------------Samaras
Hooper

Would love to see that
​

​

 

been thinking about it again and i think we might see this tonight

Anyone think he might leave Forrest as a Peter Lovenkrands today? He was * but he destroyed our 352...

 

Would you lot prefer a 2-1 win or 0-0 draw?

 

2-1 win. Gotta be

 

Probably the draw... we don't want to concede.

 

I'm so excited, I expect a win !!!

I hope that Celtic won't concede, so a 1-0 win would be more than amazing, it could be Samaras, Hooper or any unexpected player like Wanyama.

I think the key role in this game is the duel between Wanyama and Pirlo,

mon the Hoops !!!

 

Think I'd take that though I'd prefer Ambrose to make it and Lustig and Matthews fighting over right back.

Would also make it more lopsided:

Forster
Matthews Ambrose Wilson Mulgrew
Forrest Wanyama Brown Ledley..---->.......
...........................................Samaras
Hooper

In effect, 3 central midfielders but enough cover so that Ledley can cover Samaras, who I want to relieve of any defensive work. Two banks of four when defending really.
​

 

I genuinely think he would be useful as that super sub, aye. He would also be more than capable of giving Caceres a torrid time if he pushed up higher than Peluso/Giaccherini/the LWB was deep.

Set pieces will be key again, without Chiellini and any real presence up front that comes back for defending set pieces that is one area we are a * of a lot stronger in. Some good deliveries from Charlie Bhoy will be dangerous as * when we've got Vic to aim for with them only really having Barzagli as a challenger (Bonucci's not exactly brilliant in the air, far far better with his feet).

 

Aye id rather Ambrose as well i dont know if he'll play though

 

Remember when Milan came here in the last 16 tie?

Incredibly dull game, they kept us at arms length for 90 mins and left with a goalless draw. Juve could do the same. The have the quality in defence to shut us out, and the quality in midfield to keep possession.

 

Why would we rather draw than win? :smiley-laughing002:

 

Different team, different philosophy. Whether it ends up 0-0 or not, they are far more of an attacking team than the stereotype suggests, especially given that most continental teams can build the attack from the back whereas over here we have a tendency to get jittery if the defence carry the ball too much don't move their arses getting the game going faster :smiley-laughing002:. Problem is they seriously lack the world class quality up front that they have elsewhere in the team. They are more than capable at keeping possession, but Conte usually prefers to go for the win. He used to play 4-2-4 formations and everything the nutjob :smiley-laughing002:

I genuinely think there is a gap there in the back three now that Chiellini is out, Caceres is good but not brilliant.

 

I'll be at the game tonight and I can't wait! Should be a special atmosphere with a 2 0 victory for celtic. Wanyama and big kelvin Wilson!

 

Here we go bhoys,off in 20 minutes see you in paradise

Sing loud and proud HH

Mon the hoops

 

Today is gonna go slowwww, just want it to start! so excited!

 

Where do most of the supporter's buses park bhoys?

 

1-0 is the best scoreline we can realistically expect to get tonight.

We can't afford to concede an away goal.
